Section 267 Request for Exchange of Louvre Antiquities
"This is a famous tea from Wuyi Mountain, China, 'Da Hong Pao', two of you try it." Chen Rui stretched out his hand, made a gesture of please, and said.
Chen Rui does not smoke and drinks a small amount of alcohol, but he likes to drink tea very much.
When you have nothing to do, you can sit quietly for an afternoon with a cup of tea and enjoy a relaxing time.
On a mahogany table next to it, an antique tea can was placed, which contained more than 10 grams of Wuyi Mountain's 'Da Hong Pao', which was photographed by Chen Rui at the 9th China Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao Tea Culture Festival.
It's not cheap, a total of 20 grams of Dahongpao mother tree tea sold for 318,000 yuan.
Equivalent to 15,000 + RMB 1 gram.
Earl Hill took a sip and tasted it, "The aroma is rich and orchid-scented, the aftertaste is sweet, and there is an obvious 'rock rhyme', which is worthy of being China's top famous tea." ”
Berne. Hakan is obviously not focused on drinking tea, like a cow chewing peonies, but he can't taste it.
The three of them put down their teacups.
"Rui, can you let me visit your Runyuan?" Earl Hill said.
"Of course." Chen Rui nodded and said.
Chen Rui gestured with his hand to Carlson. Harry.
"Please come with me, Earl Hill, and I'll show you around Runyuan." Carlson. Harry said with a gesture of please.
"Thank you."
Wait for the Earl of Hill to follow Carlson. After Harry leaves Chunhui Hall.
Chunhui Hall is left with only Chen Rui and Bern. Hakan is two.
"Mr. Chen, I think you know very well what I mean, on behalf of the Louvre, I want to buy your Mona Lisa (Part 3). And that painting. Purchase. or exchange. Like you did with the Victoria and Albert Museum, you can exchange some of the Chinese artifacts from the Louvre's collection. "Bern. Hakan said.
Chen Rui took a sip of tea lightly, pondered for a while, and said, "Exchange some of the Chinese cultural relics in the Louvre?!" ”
"Yes, the Louvre has a collection of more than 6,000 pieces of fine Chinese porcelain and more than 200 pieces of Tang and Song paintings, all of which I think you must be interested in. Before coming to Tortuga, I had a mandate from the government, the government and the parliament. "Bern. Hakan said.
to the French government, government. Parliament, for the vast majority of French people, to exchange the Louvre's collection of Chinese artifacts that are not of much interest to them for their national treasure, the Mona Lisa (part 3), and the famous painting "Three Dynasty Worship", on the same level as the Last Supper and the Mona Lisa, is a very willing and worthwhile deal.
"You know, I declined the Victoria & Albert Museum's request to buy or exchange the Mona Lisa (part 3), and the painting." Chen Rui said.
"In order to get the Mona Lisa (part 3) and the painting, the Louvre was willing to pay a greater price than the Victoria and Albert Museum." Berne. Hakan said, determined to do so.
Chen Rui pondered in his heart for a while.
Berne. Hakan was holding a teacup in his hand, and the tea in the teacup shook slightly, which exposed his complicated heart and anticipation. Urgency and restlessness.
Eagerly looking forward to it, Chen Rui said the words 'willing to exchange'.
As long as Chen Rui is willing to exchange, it will be easy to do, and the Louvre has a large collection of Chinese cultural relics. It was stolen from China by France after the Opium War, stolen from China by some French who came to China, and bought and smuggled out of China by the French in collusion with the rebel warlords and profiteers at that time.
What is uneasy is that I am afraid of getting the answer of 'unwilling to exchange' from Chen Rui's mouth.
Chen Rui raised his head and said, "I'm sorry. ”
Chen Rui believes that the Louvre is willing to pay a very large price in order to get the "Mona Lisa" (part 3) and "Three Dynasty Worship".
The painting "Mona Lisa" (part 3) is of great significance to the Louvre and to France.
The "Three Dynasty Worship" is a work of Leonardo da Vinci at the peak of his creation, and its artistic value, artistic style, and artistic innovation in the painting are not inferior to the "Mona Lisa".
"Three Dynasties of Worship", a famous painting by Chen Rui, is intended to be the treasure of the European Pavilion of the Tortuga Island Museum, not for sale.
However, the painting "Mona Lisa" (part 3), if it can pay the price that makes Chen Rui's heart move, Chen Rui is willing to exchange.
If you buy it, the Louvre will definitely be willing to pay hundreds of millions of euros in order to get the "Mona Lisa" (part 3).
The Louvre is willing to spend hundreds of millions of euros to buy the Mona Lisa (part 3).
The Louvre is willing to exchange Chinese artifacts from its collection for Chinese artifacts whose total value is higher than that of the Mona Lisa (Part 3).
However, Chen Rui had previously checked some information on Chinese cultural relics in the Louvre's collection.
Although the Louvre Museum is the place with the largest concentration of Chinese cultural relics in France, its branch museum Guimet alone has a collection of tens of thousands of Chinese cultural relics, including 12,000 pieces of ceramics from previous dynasties, ranking first in the collection of Chinese ceramics in overseas museums.
The Louvre also has a collection of more than 6,000 pieces of fine Chinese porcelain and more than 200 paintings of the Tang and Song dynasties.
However, there are not a few top Chinese cultural relics that are very famous and very famous.
So, Chen Rui rejected Bern. Hakan was willing to exchange Chinese artifacts from the Louvre's collection for the Mona Lisa (Part 3).
In a word, the Louvre can't pay the price that makes Chen Rui's heart move.
Obviously, money certainly can't make Chen Rui's heart move, Chen Rui is not short of money, movies, MM Special Metals Smelting Company, Tortuga Island house rental and tourism income, Oak Publishing Company income, etc., can bring Chen Rui billions of dollars in income every year.
Ordinary Chinese cultural relics can't make Chen Rui's heart move.
Only national treasures, heavy weapons, and rare treasure-level Chinese cultural relics can make Chen Rui's heart move.
If the British Museum is willing to exchange any Chinese artifacts in its collection for the Mona Lisa (Part 3).
Chen Rui will agree.
You must know that the Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum are world-famous, and there are many top Chinese cultural relics, all of which are national treasures, heavy weapons, and rare treasures.
For example, the 9 paragraphs of the Tang Dynasty facsimile of Gu Kaizhi's "Female History Atlas" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the original painting of Shen Yun closest to Gu Kaizhi, has been collected by many literati and ink writers, and the inscription of Xiang Zijing can be seen on the screen, the "Hongwen Seal" of the Tang Hongwen Museum, and the words and sentences of the Song Huizong Zhao Ji thin gold book "The Female History of Zhen" 11 lines.
It appears in junior high school history textbooks.
Tucked away in the Chinese Pavilion of the British Museum, only special experts have the opportunity to feast their eyes on it.
Tens of thousands of volumes count Dunhuang Tibetan gold painting scrolls and scriptures, Dunhuang murals.
Yongle Canon, 45 volumes.
And so on, something that can be called a national treasure. (To be continued......)
